Kate Middleton's not too posh to push

Kate, 31, has decided she is not too posh to push and will not have a Caesarean birth, it was revealed yesterday.

The Duchess of Cambridge has chosen St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, west London, to have her first child, which is due next month.

It is where Princess Diana gave birth to William, 30, and Prince Harry, 28. Sources also confirmed the royal couple do not know if the baby is a boy or a girl.

It was believed they would be having a girl after the Duchess appeared to stop herself saying the word “daughter” during an official engagement in March.

A source said: “The Duke and Duchess do not know the sex of their baby and they’ve decided not to find out beforehand.”

The sex will be revealed on a notice placed on an easel at Buckingham Palace informing the nation that a new heir to the throne has been born. The Duchess will be treated by a top medical team led by the Queen’s former gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, 69.

He will be helped by Alan Farthing, 50, the former fiancé of murdered television presenter Jill Dando.

William is expected to be by her side for the birth.

He is expected to take two weeks off from the RAF.

Meanwhile, Unison boss Dave Prentis has come under fire for comparing Kate to benefit scroungers during a speech.
